Topic: $50 Bot final testing question (Read 2075 times)

Finally finished soldering everything and am doing the final testing before installing the microcontroller. I don't have access to a adjustable power supply so all I have to go by is a multimeter.

I've done a connectivity test and everything there seems to be ok but I'm somewhat confused by this line in the instructions - "If you put the multi-meter on the resistance setting, make sure all non-connected pins have at least 5 kohm resistance or you may have power issues." What exactly is meant by "non-connected pins"? Can someone give me an example of what pins I'm supposed to be checking this way?

yup as long as none of the pins on the board are touching (except the power bus) you should be fine and when admin said 5k he meant with the chip inserted didn't he? otherwise there is no resistance as you noted
